. To El whom :nog concern.-

ie it knownY that l, HENRY C. Winn, of Winning ton, inihc county oi' @linten and State of Ohio, have invented n new and improved Fence; andl I do lhere by declare that the following ie a, full, clear, and exact description thereof,4 reference being lied to the accom'-4 pnnying drawings mnliingpart ot' this specification, whicl1- v'ignrc .1. is a. eine rie-w oi' sect fence.

'Figure 2 shown, lhy enlau construct-ing' the femm.

Siinileriett-ers of reference indicate correnpondiug parts in the two figures. i

This invention relates to a novel movie or" constan ing fences, which is especially intended for ports ci the United Stets-f3 where stone ie abundant :ind wood. is sczn'ce.

The nat/nrc of any invention consists' in construct ing' the parts ot'- the fence ofshlookn or slabs of `stone laid one upon anotiher, sind cemented together, the saine timeV laying flown `and adjusting tla horizontiil wires, which extendroin postato post, between ille blocks or slabs oi' stone formingthe posts, iso-that, when thev fence in completed, the said wires will be firmly held in their places imbedded between the blocks in lzhecement, as willhe hereinafter explained.

The following ie n description of' my improved fence:

In the accompanying drawings A A represent stone posts, which may be constructed,4 soy, 4fty feet apart, and

c c c are 4horizontal wires, which are arranged one' nnove another, at suit-ohio distances apart., nud which pass through the posts or pillars, and are connected athe first poet, to a, key-rod, D, as shown in figs. l au 2.

ion of my improved 'ged views, the mode of At intervals of, nay, six fach-vertical wire binders B are applied to the horizontal wil-ec, and connected xn' a. enitnble manner to stone anchors b.

The lowermot `when c' 'a may be ,serrated and x placed Bearer together, in 'order to prevent hogs from getting throngh'tlne fence,

.toioonntrnht'ihie fence-I select blocks, slabs, or

piecee it' atoneot various sizes, and commence 'o y laying down-large stones for the foundation of the posts or pillars. then adjust the wire c, \vhich is nearest the ground, upon the foundation-stones, and then continue building up the posts hysnperimposilng loyer after layer of stones, arranging beiween every loyer G, or between every alternate layer a, one of the'wires, o.

The hshpostor pillar may he about eighteen inches ra; ,zr'cnuig :mi making part of the' Saxton;

o may he secured rich receives found n very 'substantial fence m v he made by ceinenting theiayers of storico, of poet, che intermediate posts heine' ont cement, so that the weight o: will keep them in place.

'o prevent longitudinal ploy o the posts A, I slinll serrato or lio the wires o which are imbedded the stones or cement about they will be rmiy held.

The on-rhs or serrntions'i may he n 2, hy menus of n chisel.

It will be seen from the afnove le 'pilon that I construct n fence of stone and wire combined, in such in `ier than: the wires are applied to the posts sind -f niineil in pince while building up .these posts, therehy ndniiitngol" the use oi small rough stones, such als are found in great abundance in various sect-ions of' this country, and dispensing with. lelie 'ind expense which would be rq'nirell to constior pillars of dressed stone.

Ey thus utilizing the lhitherf stones, the posts' or pillars do no nos ctlnough portions ot' c portions, so than wie :is shown in nothi ng in he drilled l r posto or pillars stronger fastening ofthe wire to cnn be electcd.

do not clnim n combined wire and stone fence,

when thc posts are mndeoi' continuons solid blocks o1 etonc, or of solid wood or solid iron, es my inven tion relates specially to o stone post, inside up of nections, between whiclrvsections the wires are placed and held.

What l claim n-S new, and decir:r` 'to fic-cure hy Letiersl Potent, is-h 2l. A. combined Vstone and whA by inter-posing the wires hetwec l; in" the posts or pillars, subst-om'. l l

2. A fence, composed of wire :Xetneen loyers of stone forming the posts or pinne, and nnohcred to stone blocks b, by the ,binding wires ai; intermerlietc points between the pdx or pillars, subetnntially es described.
